Pence was supposed to play five innings for Sacramento at Round Rock (Texas) on Saturday and then play five more innings Sunday. His stay was expected to last at least a week, and the Giants planned to activate him after he got roughly 30 at-bats with the River Cats.

Bochy did not offer a revised timetable, but he was hopeful the right fielder could resume playing Monday. Pence reported feeling something while trying to avoid getting hit by a pitch in the first inning; he was lifted for a pinch runner after hitting a single in the third.

Bochy said he wasn’t sure if Pence simply broke up some scar tissue, which is part of the healing process.

“They don’t know, really,” Bochy said. “It was a quick movement, and that’s the thing. You can go through rehab and do sprints and (run) curves, but when you get to game speed and make a movement, you can feel something.”
